Customer Reviews

Do you need a new medicine?

As all these kind of books you will think twice before you go to a MD. Albeit everybody think that a doctor must have some human thoughts the reality is very different and many of them just don't care about healing or harming someone. The book's story will keep you reading but the surgeries are a little bit boring and the end of the book is very predictable but that doesn't mean that is a bad end.

Excellant

This is the second time that I read this book and will read it again. It is full of suspense and intrigue. A definite read for anyone who enjoys medical thrillers.

Great Intrigue !!

Michael Palmer has written a great suspense novel weaving the interpersonal turmoil of the main character beautifully with a captivating suspense thriller that will have you guessing at every turn. In the great style of Catherine Coulter and Robert Ludlum, Michael Palmer has written a terrific novel that ranks with the best of them. This is one you won't be able to put down until the end !

I've read all of Palmers books except the new release!

Yes - his books seem to following the typical formula/recipe for medical mystery thriller - BUT, each of the eight paperbacks of his books I finished in record time and couldn't get enough of them! After reading the first one "Silent Treatment" I ordered the other seven to read too! Yes, I too am fairly good at guessing the next "thing" that will occur in mystery books that I read - but I am pretty good at doing so with mystery movies and TV series too - so this is nothing new to me. I have to say that I have also passed on his books to friends and family to read and they are just as captivated by his writing ability and plots as I have been! They are a good, exciting, fast read and if that is what you are after you won't be disappointed - give his books a shot - I certainly did - and I'm not in the least bit disappointed that I did.

An Excellent Medical Thriller

A good story, well told. Excellent characterizations and fast-paced action combine for an entertaining read. The premise was somewhat exaggerated but still believable. The only thing I found unbelievable in this story was that the senator from Massachusetts was a republican.
